Looks like the NRA may have figured out a way to keep their membership high and stupid enough not to realize they're being used by the gun manufacturers: poisoning the kids with lead.
All anyone with a rudimentary knowledge in toxicology knows, lead in children will lower IQ by several points and make the kids have shorter attention spans and more violent - a perfect recipe for future membership in the NRA!
So, shooting ranges are great places to teach kids to shoot and to make 'em stupid at the same time. A recent article shows that kids tested at an indoor range have lead levels well into the toxic range, some high enough to kill a bald eagle!
No, it's probably not actually a plot by the NRA to grow their membership, but it does explain some of the poor mentation by rabid gun nuts. It's also ironic that the NRA rails against laws about cutting out lead bullets while it's poisoning their own kids. I guess their imagined fears about guns are more important than their kids.
